Probably the biggest critic of the Fed program is former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who in an interview stated that there is "no evidence" that QE2 worked, and that its lack of success would cause the Fed to think twice about attempting yet another round of quantitative easing, or risk "continued erosion to the dollar." Supporters make the claim that the program actually helped American exports increase due to a weaker dollar, making goods cheaper in other parts of the world. This helps exports, but since America's economy is now more import-driven, for better or worse, it hurt the average consumer. With a weaker dollar, gas and food prices have gone up, due in some part to the inflationary practices of the Federal Reverse and QE2. More at www.silverunderground.com.
